Im getting the following parts listed below;

XSPC reservoir top
Fusion V2 block
laing ddc 3.2 pump

Now id like to go with 7/16'' tubing over 1/2'' barbs, but i cant find any information regarding with size fittings come on the above parts. Im assuming they come with 3/8'' holes so all i need to buy are 3/8'' to 1/2'' adapters, I assume this because if they came with 1/4'' holes how would anyone fit 1/2'' barbs.

But if anyone could chime in and confirm this id appreciate it.

for the mcp355 res top dosnt come with barbs, and u would need g1/4 i like bitspower non compression. and the fusion v2 comes with 1/2" g1/4 but i would swap them. and i dont think that the xspc comes with barbs.


and why use the smaller tubing u still need clamps and if u get good tubing it dosnt come loose, like primoflex or fesser

Thanks that clears things up.

So to sum things up, you say I'll need 2 of the g1/4 to 1/2'' for the res top, is that 1 for inflow and 1 for outflow? or is that 1 for inflow and the other for the line to fill the system.

And also get 2 more for the fusion v2 as you say the ones supplied should be swapped.

Ok G1/4 is the standard threading on all barbs and components. Just order your 1/2" barbs and you'll be good to go.(you'll a barb for every port in every component, other than if you get plugs for unused ports).
